The Third Reich in Desperation

"That's enough! I don't think we are that bad yet." His Majesty finally couldn't help but burst out: "Quisling! Before you speak, please remember that you are a Norwegian, not a German!"

Obviously, Quisling's presumptuous remarks had the opposite effect and angered the patriotic and brave old king.

At the beginning, Haakon VII was actually ready to release goodwill to the German government, and he felt that Quisling and the pro-German group behind him still relied heavily on it as the capital to ask Germany for help in the future.

But now, he has changed his mind.

Yes, Norway is a small country.There are no more than 2 soldiers, less than a hundred battleships, and weapons and equipment are completely incomparable with such big countries as Britain and Germany.

But Norwegians also have dignity and backbone!

"Minister Quisling, I think you can leave this meeting for the time being." The king said sternly, "calling the Germans to our territory without firing a single shot. I can't do such a thing. You It is certainly possible to resist foreign enemies, but it must not be at the cost of giving up dignity and independence! 100 years later, we hope that the world will remember a brave and independent Norway, a country that defends its neutrality to the death, not a country that will easily bow its head Weak country begging for mercy!"

After waving his hands, Haakon VII didn't even look at Quisling: "Go out, I'm going to hold a war meeting for independent defense next. I think you may not be interested in this kind of thing."

When he said the word "independence", His Majesty the King's accent was particularly heavy, as if he was emphasizing something.

"How...how did this happen?" Quisling looked at the old king incredulously, and said incoherently.

fucked up!The thing I promised the Germans was completely screwed up!This allows him to explain to the Germans......

Main text Chapter 239 Competing for Navia (End)

In fact, Quisling was quite decent for a long time.

He once graduated from the Norwegian Military Academy with the first grade in the same period in 1908, and was directly transferred to the field artillery unit as a lieutenant after graduation.

Such achievements and starting made Quisling's first half of his life smooth and smooth, with every step of the way.

When he was less than 30 years old, he was awarded the Order of the British Empire by the British government for privately taking care of the interests of the United Kingdom.

During the same period, he was publicly named and praised by the Soviet government for his goodwill towards Soviet Russia.

But when he proposed himself to the Communist International and asked to form the Norwegian Red Guard, he was rejected.

After that, he immediately went from one extreme to another, learning Reinhardt's methods and theories, and established the Norwegian "National Unity Party".

But this idiot has only learned the superficial, but not the essence!

Reinhardt's Socialist Workers' Party was established against the background of the country being humiliated, the territory occupied, and the territory torn apart.

In Germany, where the people are eager to get out of desperation, the appearance of Reinhardt can almost be said to be a blessing to the people.But in the rich and peaceful Norway, this theory does not work at all.

Contrary to Reinhardt leading the Socialist Workers Party to sweep the country, Quisling's "National Unity Party" couldn't even get a seat in the parliament, let alone increase its influence.

Now, if Quisling wants to climb to a higher position, the only way to go is a coup.But the direct line of force in his hands is only a downsizing division in the hands of Narvik Garrison Commander Sun Delo, plus more than [-] members of the Norwegian Armed Stormtroopers.This manpower is less than one-third of the other troops under Haakon VII's command. It is not easy to want a coup d'état.

Furthermore, once a coup d'etat fails, it will lose its head!

In order to greatly increase the probability of success, Quisling can only rely on the power of a big country like Germany.Even if he is ashamed by others, even if everyone criticizes him, he must seize the opportunity to become the kind of master in his dreams!

"You will regret it!" Quisling, who was ostracized by everyone, angrily patted and got up and said, "Without the help of the Germans, Norway will become the next British colony sooner or later."

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Quisling had no choice but to straighten his collar pretending to be reserved, and then said to himself guiltyly: "Since everyone insists on their own opinions, then I don't need to stay any longer. Let's do our own things and let the results speak for themselves. "

The king silently watched Quisling finish his performance, and then watched the clown walk out of the conference room door without saying a word.

"Bah, a shameless dog!" Minister Koch, who was always polite and civilized, swears out in disgust.

"This kind of person shouldn't be invited to today's meeting!"

"If I were an official in Germany, I would definitely not support this kind of idiot to come to power, and this kind of person would not be remembered at all."

.......

The officials vented their dissatisfaction and released their suppressed emotions.

"Actually... the German government has secretly contacted our intelligence department early this morning, and expressed its willingness to provide us with German weapons from an infantry division." Tun, a head of the intelligence department wearing thick glasses In order to swallow his saliva, he added after everyone calmed down a bit: "The German side didn't even put forward any excessive conditions, and additionally allowed us to directly trade with iron ore resources of the same value."

"They didn't state the conditions such as asking us to provide a port and allowing German troops to enter our country?" Minister Koch stared at the head of the intelligence department with puzzled eyes.

"No!" The person in charge nodded with certainty, and met Koch's eyes and said: "The German side made it clear that they would never set foot on our land without our explicit request. And they don't need the Norwegian government." Allied with the German government, we only hope that Norway will continue to maintain neutrality. As for the weapons bought and sold, we can send transport ships to the port of Danzig for shipment."

Koch looked at the king in surprise, and found that the other party was also looking at him with joy.

Taking a deep breath, Koch said slowly, "So, Quisling's behavior just now has nothing to do with the attitude of the German government."

"That's right!" Haakon VII nodded affirmatively to everyone present, "At least we can be sure that Quisling never contacted the German government. Otherwise, he would never have made a declaration that was completely contrary to the German government. "

"What if.......This is a trap set up by the German government to let us relax our vigilance?" The Norwegian Prime Minister asked worriedly.

"Impossible!" Minister Koch immediately retorted: "From Quisling's attitude, he must have wagged his tail to the German government through secret channels. But if the Germans want to invade us, they only need to talk to the Norwegian Minister of Armed Forces." Just say hello, and we can cooperate with each other and land on our territory with ease."

"According to this point of view, there is no need for the German government to go to the trouble of negotiating arms deals with us." The head of the intelligence department obviously agreed with Koch's analysis and responded accordingly.

"That Quisling now..." asked the Prime Minister.

"He is just making his own claims." Koch was relieved to think that a powerful country like Germany did not join forces with Quisling: "Without Germany's affirmation, no matter how much Quisling makes a fuss, it will not be too big. question."

Prior to this, Koch had been worried that Quisling would do something wrong and attract the German invasion.In fact, based on what everyone knows about Quisling, it has long been guessed that he must have sent a signal of cooperation to the German side.

However, the arms deal sent by Germany has relieved Koch's worries from the side.

Quisling must have contacted Germany, but even so, the German government is still willing to provide weapons to the Norwegian government.This shows that the leaders of Germany do not agree with Quisling's request or proposal, and have no interest in occupying Norway.

In contrast to fools like Quisling, Germany's leaders are much smarter.They obviously understood how beneficial a neutral Norway was to Germany, so they were not seduced by Quisling's great fighter.

With such a rational analysis, he can calmly choose the safest and most beneficial way of action under the temptation of taking the initiative to throw himself into his arms at home and abroad.Give up the easy-to-reach achievement of destroying the country, and guide the situation to develop in a peaceful and stable direction that is beneficial to oneself.Although the head of the Third Reich was clever and scary, it made Koch feel at ease.

This is because the German head of state is a smart person, so he will not be tempted by superficial interests like Quisling.As long as the situation does not deteriorate further, Koch is sure that he will try his best to help Norway remain neutral and be a "pawn" in favor of Germany.

Now the entire Norwegian high-level, only that idiot Quisling is still in the dark, delusional to wait for support from Germany.Deplorable, hateful, even more pathetic!

Body 2 Chapter [-]: The Indifferent Bystander

In the eastern part of the Navia Peninsula, a member of the strongest country in Northern Europe, did not express anything from the beginning to the end.

The first kingdom of the Nordic countries is Sweden, which is also a founding member of the League of Nations, and dominates the northern traditional forces in Northern Europe.

Sweden's location is critical, bordering Finland to the northeast, Norway to the west and northwest, the Baltic Sea and the Kattegat to the east, the North Sea to the southwest, and Denmark across the sea.It can be said that as long as the Swedish government is willing, it is easy to intervene in any regional turmoil in Northern Europe.

Although Sweden has strictly adhered to neutrality in recent years, coupled with the sparse population density of the country, it seems a bit weak and cowardly.However, this does not mean that the former Navian overlord has disappeared!

Since the 16s, Sweden took the lead in establishing an army with strong combat effectiveness through military reforms in the Nordic region. Relying on its increasingly powerful economic and military strength, it began a foreign war that lasted for more than a century and a half, and established the Baltic region. hegemony!

Since 1630, when it intervened in the 30-year war that caused turmoil throughout Europe, this Nordic power has been in full swing.

At the beginning, Sweden first defeated Denmark and became the number one power in the Navia Peninsula.Then it leaped into the European continent, built a power across the Baltic Sea, and became the most important country in Europe at that time.At that time, there was only one powerful country in Northern Europe, and that was Sweden!
